Sapper Joe

Hold on! Let me upload this to instagram before we start kicking down doors! *Please note that this is not me... Thankfully...

What do you mean "not enough loot"? There is plenty of it. Guess where it is. Yup! That's right! In my inventory. What you gonna do about it? KOS me? Good luck.

I think I'll loot all the cigarettes and booze I can find. Wine and dine everyone I can, and relieve them of their stuff while they are plastered.

I've noticed Zeds appear in areas I've cleared. Perhaps a respawn of sorts. I'll aggro the few that are there, lose them just outside of town, return, only to find more there. Aggro them, lose them in the same spot, now the first few are gone, ditch the second set and head back... Guess what! More of them. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Did you make sure that the cleaning kit was in pristine condition? If it's anything but, then it will damage your weapon. That's what I'm finding to happen at the very least.

The one good thing that I think came from this... Sardines are the new Beans. The amount of food is decreased. The amount of items that can open cans is decreased. So naturally, sardines being a pop-top...

I looked this up and couldn't find anything relevant to what I came across. This isn't a glitch by any means, but something peculiar nonetheless. Fresh spawned just south of Solnichniy at the three houses. Eventually made my way far enough west to Staroye. So I started looting on the South East end of town, working my way up. I made my way to the last few houses and saw some zeds that I must of missed. So I aggroed them, and tried to lose them away from town at the long barn just west of town. Easy-peasy. Made my way back to town, only to find two more there. Figured I could get the first two and lose all of them. So I made my way back to where I lost the first two. However, they were no where to be seen. So I drop the second set there and head back to town. Only to find yet again, two more. Rinse, lather, repeat. The first two were both female. The second set were both male, one military. The third was a male and female zed. Any one else have had similar happenings? Side note: Sardines are the new Beans.

I know the pic over exaggerated the angles. I feel that the camera is rotated down a little bit to compensate for it being higher than the player model. I could be wrong. But to be honest, I'm too busy trying not to be KOS'ed to really care if it is or not.

Ok. I'll give you that. I can't believe I found some thing that illustrates this. Some master MS Paint skills too. :P I think it can be a good trade off; Some what Less accurate aiming, for near omnipotent situational awareness. OK... Maybe it needs a little more work...

Did you notice that if you aim at something in first person, go to third person, you will be aiming just above from where you were in first person. It's called perspective. Notice how the camera pulls back, is raised, and rotated down a little bit? So now you are viewing it from a different angel.

I use OBS. Though, if you're running Win 8, don't try to record anything in 1080. And you may have to have play windowed as well. There is something about OBS that doesn't like Win 8 all that much. If you have an HD PVR, say for consoles... Duplicate your screen, run the HDMI to the PVR, and have it recorded to your PC, or to a different PC if yours cant handle the game and recording. And assuming you have an HDMI output. Though I don't know how well that would work.

I found one at Rifty. Took a hacksaw to it as soon as I could. That thing is a beast! Sneak up on some one and just shoot thing in the air. I can promise you that they will be running away, with their pants now having a wet condition.

I feel that lowering the spawn rate only increased server hopping. It wasn't the answer to the problem. I did throw it out there that with high value items, there needs to be a hoard of zeds on it. What seems to require more work? Server hopping more for that ever-more elusive item, or going through a dozen zeds? Do you really think that these server hoppers want to risk their stuff that they worked oh-so hard for? If you answered with anything other than no, you are sadly mistaken. It was an attempt. I'll give them that. But doing only that was the wrong thing to do. I will recognize that it would take time for them to have hoard spawn on a central point all the time, every time.

I had found this out just last night myself while playing with a friend. We figured you'd be good, so long as the blood type matches and that the blood isn't tainted. Then we questioned what would happen if we injected the wrong blood type... Naturally, we don't do it on ourselves, we are armed to the teeth with every weapon and god gear. So we planned on holding some one up; A fresh spawn. If they live through it, give them a saline and let them go. If they died, well... Any way. We decided to go to a more populated server. We both log in, I lag myself to death, and he was shortly killed by another player.

If I wanted this many hats, I'll go play TF2. Sorry, had to go there. Though I will admit that there does appear to be an increase in the amount of hats spawned.

I particularly dislike the decrease in bag spawns. I've seen equipped players leave their bags in a secure area, go and take empty bags and leave them in the woods. Making sure that the bag can not be found. I can handle KOS, but this... I know for a fact is turning people away from the game. I cant help but fell this in particular, encourages server hopping.

I very much dislike the decreased spawn rate of bags in particular. I've seen equipped players secure their stuff in a remote location, go and take bags they find, and leave the empty bags some where in the woods. Making sure that the bags will never be found. I can handle KOS, but douchebaggery like that... I know for a fact is turning people away from the game. It greatly encourages server hopping.

I had spawned around Komarovo. I looted one of the buildings and had found a canteen. Making my way east and just getting to the out skirts of the area, I had taken a swig from the canteen. While doing so, I start taking damage from behind. Both of us were fresh spawns. With the canteen in my hands, I cant fight. So I go crouch in hopes that he misses long enough for my to unequip the canteen. I ended up dropping it. I then get back up. We both go at it fisticuffs. I ended up landing one on his head, then he falls to the ground. At that point, I'm just wailing on him nonstop. As soon as he got back up, I landed another on the head and he falls again... Let's just say that he wasn't able to get back up. I took his shirt, made rags, and patched myself up. First kill and so far, only kill.

I want to see a web series using DayZ. Kinda like what Rooster Teeth did with RvB in Halo. Though, that would require a spectator mode.

I really only use them when something doesn't go right. Then I'll look it and find that it hasn't been implemented, or that it's bugged. I had found a bayonet and had slapped it on my mosin. I was hitting every button on my keyboard to see if I could use it for melee. Naturally, I couldn't do it. So I looked it up and found that bayonets are only a cosmetic change right now.

I read this all while surfing YouTube. TotalBiscuit uploaded a video covering Early Access, as well as Pre-Ordering to an extent. I'll link the video, and I will say that I have to agree with pretty much everything he said. He does bring up DayZ, only in the sense that the game is the only Early Access game that says, "Do not buy unless you want to support development." I do suggest watching. It is certainly easier to take in than a wall of text. Mind you, it's all done from a critic's/consumer's point of view. And by consumer, I mean one who has not bought into it.

I dont know about you all, but Im finding a severe lack of variety of loot on top of a few possibly minor things... Im hard pressed for clothing as I had to sacrifice my shirt for rags earlier on. So I start looking around. There is nothing but ammo. I managed to find a fully loaded M4 magaine, about 6 boxes of 5.56 NATO, 4 boxes of 7.62 ammo, a few stacks of 12 gauge buck shots, as well as a good amount of .45 ammo... I shortly bled to death thereafter. Jumped in a new server and pretty much the same thing. Some how died walking out a door. Third time has to be the charm, right? NOPE! More ammo that I cant even use. Ended up taking enough damage to force me prone, while bleeding out. Im not all to sure as to what caused it though. I wonder how long this streak will go?

I bought the SA earlier this week, and have been a part of the forums for a few days, so I'm quite the green horn here Having items spawn less frequently wont help. They'll just keep hopping until they find what they are wanting. That doesnt fix anything. I feel that some items should spawn less. However... On top of that, I also feel that the more useful/rarer items should have a hoard of zombies on them. So to get that M4A1, you have to fight your way through a dozen zombies to get it. That's just my two cents on the subject. Take it as you will.

I'm pretty sure that fall damage will also deteriorate your equipment. I came across a dead player. From what I could tell, he had vaulted over a railing and fell. His starting shirt and shoes were ruined, as well as his flashlight and battery. His pants were just damaged. So it seems that damage in general will damage your gear. Though, I want to know how fall damage ruins clothing.

Might as well post mine just to see how I rank with the rest of you all. Laptop Win 8 CPU: Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz RAM: 12.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M HDD: 2x 500Gb 5400rpm RAID 0 No SSDs Overclocked it a bit as well.
